Seattle is led by a great defense

The Kraken are having a great season despite their offense struggling and scoring only 2.62 goals per game. Jordan Eberle and Jaden Schwartz have combined for nine goals and 11 assists to lead the top two lines, but the rest of the offense has struggled. Only two skaters have four goals or more and opponents can limit the top-heavy offense as a result.

The offense has struggled but the defense has stepped up, allowing only 2.92 goals per game. Josh Mahura and Brandon Montour have combined for 1.9 defensive point shares, while Jamie Oleksiak and Ryan Lindgren have combined for 1.3 defensive point shares to add depth to the unit. In addition, goaltender Joey Daccord has stepped up with a .900 save percentage and a 2.83 goals-against average on 299 shots with 1.0 goals saved above average. Matt Murray is expected to be in goal. He's 0-1 with a 3.24 GAA and an 0.889 save percentage.

Daccord was placed on the IR.

Stars hope to improve on both ends of the ice

The Stars are having a rocky season with their offense struggling and scoring only 2.86 goals per game. Mikko Rantanen, Wyatt Johnston, and Jason Robertson have scored 20 goals and 30 assists but the rest of the offense has struggled. Only three skaters have four goals or more and opponents can limit the top-heavy offense as a result.

The offense has struggled but the defense has also played poorly early on, allowing 3.21 goals per game. Miro Heiskanen and Esa Lindell have combined for 1.8 defensive point shares but the rest of the unit has struggled, allowing opponents to find open shots on the net at will. The bright spot has been the play of goaltender Jake Oettinger, who has a .899 save percentage and a 2.89 goals-against average on 288 shots with 0.8 goals saved above average. Cary Desmith is the likely starter in goal with a 2-1-1 record, a 3.15 GAA and 0.876 save percentage.

C Matt Duchene (upper body) is out.

Kraken vs Stars Pick

Money Line Pick For Kraken vs Stars

  • Stars -1.5 (-110) (4 units)

The Stars are struggling but I see them stepping up on their home ice and taking over this game. The Stars should pile on the goals with Mikko Rantanen, Wyatt Johnston, and the rest of the forward unit carrying the puck into the offensive zone while creating open shots with quick passes. The Stars should limit the Kraken offense with Miro Heiskanen and Esa Lindell creating turnovers in the defensive zone while limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Jake Oettinger to make plenty of big saves. The Stars should win the game and cover the spread in a dominant win on their home ice.

Over/Under Pick For Kraken vs Stars

  • Under 6.5 (5 Units)

The Kraken and Stars have struggled on offense, and I see this game being a low-scoring one from the first period. The Kraken should limit a Stars offense that averages only 2.86 goals per game with Brandon Montour, Jamie Oleksiak, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers in the defensive zone while limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Joey Daccord to make plenty of big saves. The Stars should eliminate and potentially shut out the Kraken, who average only 2.62 goals per game, with Miro Heiskanen, Esa Lindell, and the rest of the defensive unit forcing turnovers in all three zones while Jake Oettinger blanks the shots on the net. The Under should cover in a low-scoring game with both defenses stepping up.

Take the Under on 6.5 goals.

The Kraken face the Stars with both teams looking to improve in the Western Conference.
